Kaptain-Karmel's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[newgrounds calendar entry]

Wow

I'm sure you know how good this is, so I don't really have to tell you that this is fucking awesome. So I guess I could just give you a quick suggestion.

Considering that this is going into a Newgrounds calender, I think you should work more on the idea that you did with the Hominid in the back ground. Alien Hominid is a good example of the "good side" of Newgrounds. So maybe put a few more iconic characters behind the good knight. And alternatively, some examples of bad icons that make up the evil side.

What you have here is really great, in fact it could go in the calender like this and still be great. This is just something I thought you should consider to make it more Newgrounds related.

jouste responds:

thats a good suggestion kaptain, i may of said it before but i only put in a few new grounds related dudes because everyone was already doing such a great job on them.

i was originally going to do a dad n' me piece but cosmicdeath's one is so cool that i'd never want to go up against that or take anything away from it.

if it costs me a calendar slot because of my lack of NG content that's fine. as long as some people like it i'm happy :D

[THE Red Knight]

Noice

hey dude, that's pretty sick. Love how stylized it is. The colors and the textures really give it that midevil feel to it.

Would have liked to see a little lighting coming from somewhere (like his sword, or his eyes).

dommi-fresh responds:

i thought about adding lightning to it but i thought it wouldn't fit with the pose thanks for the high score man

[Super Action Danger Hawks]

Noice.

I really like this one, you and Will should do more collab stuff like this. The background and the textures really make this picture pop.

This also seems to have a differnt style than your usual stuff.

JohnnyUtah responds:

it looked alot like my typical crap before the textures

[Metal Slug Beach Party]

Two of my favorites.

Wow, I don't really have much to say except that this is an amazing fan art. Great concepts, love the style.

knockwurst responds:

Thanks! I'm glad to hear you like my style : ) You also have great taste in games.

[Bonkalicious]

Wow

You seem to vary between two differnt styles of drawing woman's faces. The BIG eyed anime style, and a more accurate style.

I really feel like this style is so much more unique and interesting (just my opinion) and encourage you to keep with it.

Great work, keep em commin'.

knockwurst responds:

Thanks Kaptain, I appreciate your feedback on my differing styles, I'll keep in mind what you said here : )

[Dr. Hannibal Lecter]

These are great an all...

These are great and all, and you clearly have a lot of skill with painting digitally. But I think you should move on from just doing stills from popular culture. I think you have enough talent here to make some original characters, surreal scenes, or some stuff no one has seen before.

The wolverine one is proof enough that you have the ability to work off of nothing.

You're good dude, just try to change it up a bit, that's all.

xartez responds:

Hey, thank you! This is one of my first digital pieces, I was trying to get close to realism WITHOUT using a layer with base. So, after this piece, I draw with more naturality now and I'm creating new things. Thanks again, dude ^^

[God's Will]

meh

Take the text and the gradient out and you got yourself a decent picture here.

Just my opinion.

Omegaro responds:

Yeah, that'd probably make it better. Thanks! ^^

[Edward Cullen]

Wow

I'm not the biggest twilight fan, but this is great. Awesome style, amazing quality. Keep it up, I would love to see more of this kind of art come out of the art portal.

WieldtheKey responds:

Lol, I know that Twilight is both hated and adored-- I'm not the biggest fan anymore, but it was fun while it lasted. And thanks very much, I'm glad you like it.
